As noted, WWE Hall Of Famer Jim Ross recently took part in a Q&A session with the folks at The A.V. Club. Below are some more highlights of what he spoke about.
On his autobiography, “Slobberknocker: My Life In Wrestling” and his personal revelation about his drug addiction issues: “You’re going to hear about my addiction to drugs. I was addicted to Ambien and Xanax, together, with Crown Royal. I was on Uranus, and Pluto, and Neptune, and everywhere else late at night. [Because] I had severe sleep apnea – and still do – I stopped breathing 99 times in an hour in a sleep test. So I wasn’t in real great shape with that deal.”
On finally beating his addiction: “Ambien is a temporary medication for insomnia. Temporary. Not ten years. …It’s not a [revolutionary] story, it’s eye-opening, and shows it can happen to anybody. It was like smoking, I just decided one day to quit smoking, and stopped. Done, I’m done.”
